I email Vimal, CC-ing our Council's E-Champion:

Hi Vimal

Invisible Networks have wireless networks installed in Cambridgeshire. Their installations are subsidised by the EEDA by a DTI grant for the East of England.

I may be wrong but MK is not in the East of England. Invisible Networks' web site doesn't cover MK.

I am awaiting a reply from our council's "e-champion". He'll know which DTI agency to tackle.

Regards
Nick

Our E-Champion responds:

Gentlemen

You are correct, MK is not in the East of England Development Agency Area (EEDA) - we are actually in SEEDA with whom we are developing a potential wireless broadband solution. However we are part of the East of England Broadband Group for delivering National Grid for Learning to schools (again a wireless broadband network with the OU as the 'Hub') and that may form a pivotal part of what is planned.

Can I suggest you also look at the excellent East of England Telematics Trust Site.

Look also at my e-champion site.

I have also asked Steven Jewell (the Head of IT at MK Council) to respond to you.
